TermII at IFMR !!!!!
Teenage of my B-school life is just over; I think I have become a bit matured, a bit focused and a totally confused soul. Or if you want me to explain my situation using a marketing jargon I would say I am in the growth stage of my B-School Life Cycle. While I have started writing this the major part of my brain has only one word revolving around ….. No prizes for the right guess, everyone knows it is …….. Abhyudaya ’08. Yes if I had to put in a brief summary of what have I done for the last 2 months I don’t remember a single event or day when Abhyudaya was not in my mind or in my deeds. I feel I live Abhyudaya, it’s my dream event and it’s my focus. One may think why so much time and focus on an event which is just another event in life and why so much botheration to me as an individual, what do I say it’s more than just an event for me, it has taught me various lessons which any book cannot teach. A few learning’s or occasions which I could share.
Everyone knows and feels in their daily life that money is the most difficult thing in the world to get from anyone whether it’s your own money or whether you are trying to borrow some. I know I may face a situation in future when I want to venture out on my own and then I would need money, yes you have guessed it right Abhyudaya has taught me the lesson, it has clearly made me aware 1000 times saying boss its never gonna be that easy who ever you may be, where ever you are from, you are talking money so be ready to hear a big NO even before you make your point. I am still feeling oh god we need a lot of money what do I do. Let’s see we are trying our best. So this is the real life learning Abhyudaya has given me, what ever cash flows I predict and discount, in what ever ways I make the NPV positive, until I get the moolah in my hands it never can be mine.
To be a successful individual in what ever set up you are, whether you are a student, an employee, or even a family member coordination and communication are the two major things you will require. And yes Abhyudaya being a student’s initiative requires both of them in every stage of it, in every instance of it. I was a very reserved and silent kind of a person for most part of my life, but as I have grown I have known the importance of communication. My communication skills are not really good, but the confidence I have gained in this period of working for Abhyudaya make me feel better and motivates me to communicate effectively, as the stakes are really high here
I have never been a commanding or an authoritative person ever, I don’t like being one, you may think he might have never got a chance to be, or may be whose gonna listen to him, yes you are right. But that’s not the way I like to work, I like to take along people with me as I am not the be all and end all of the world, so this phase of my life has also taught me to get along with everyone when ever required and keep on moving when that seems to be unnecessary or a spoil sport situation.
There can be hundreds of instances of learning, of joy, of fear, of tension, but why all this – it adds value to me and if u want me to be academic, it’s my EVA and yes I mean it.

Apart from Abhyudaya the 2 months after the Diwali break were not as much as planned and thought by me, but life is like a casino what ever you win or what ever you lose, you never feel satisfied, you like to play a little more. The moments of joy in these two months were numerous. The treat at Mathsya hotel was a day when everyone was joyous and a few other occasions which made moments lighter. Over all these two months have been very hectic and very tense, tension of studying CF, of participating in Venu’s class, of completing the cases and blah blah blah.
Occasions which enhanced exposure and gave an idea of how the corporates really work, what do they actually do and so on was learnt or known thorough the umpteen number of PPT’s attended day in and day out. Summer placements was another thing running over my mind for most of this period and more so because of the process conducted by Darashaw, which again was an eye opener and as I am writing this I have started thinking of it again, where do I want to go, what profile am I looking at, what value do I want to add by it and so on.
Now coming to the values added and the key learning’s of part two of my B-school diary
What ever additional activity you do, never leave your focus.
What am I actually trying to do, ask this question to yourself everyday before sleep.
Want to achieve a lot in this world, what is that lot, does it have a definition, if not sit back and decide what you want to do first.
You want to be a perfectionist right, how do u know you will be one when you have almost always ended up doing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. think about it.
Friends are a very important part of your life, but not at the stake of something else.
Be very clear and objective with your personal and professional life.
You want to do something, achieve some thing- start now; tomorrow you will have some other idea contrary to it.
I need to do some value engineering on myself its terms of my activities.
Practice makes a man perfect, some one said this but who is following, oh god I need to think about it, I remember the CF tests.
No one is interested in your boring gyan, so please CTC and move on.(This is applicable to me.)
